  8. Tower of London • Was constructed in 1078 by William the Conqueror • The history and background of the grim reputation as a place of torture and death is interesting to see and witness for yourself • However, there is also an unknown beauty of the Tower • It served as a royal palace and is an architectural marvel to this day • Was a key armory and a powerful fortress • There is a presence of the wild and wondrous animals that have inhabited the Tower that actually make it the first London Zoo. • This type of history fascinates me because of the profound impact it held and still holds in London • I find it particularly interesting due to the common misconception that it was solely a torture chamber when it had many other roles that people do not know about ACIS 1504
